Today, we laid my nephew , lance corporal conner Robertson to rest.
I tried to compose myself as best as I could,, because I wanted to be strong for my sister and brother in law.
When the 21 gun salute and taps rang out,,, from the United States Marine corps… and they presented the folded flag to my sister… I couldn’t do it guys. I just couldn’t.
I was told something today that I’ll never forget,,
The streets of heaven are guarded by the United States Marines,,, I believe that that is spot on correct. [Linked Image]

Oh, my heart hurts, I'm so sorry, Sir.

My husband (not active duty) Marine and I send our deepest condolences and prayers.

If you could keep it together after Taps and the flag folding..

I'd say ...there's something wrong with you.

Tough day for sure...those Military Funerals tug at your heart.


It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.

There is nothing wrong with showing your emotions, especially considering what you and your family members have been dealing with.

LCpl Conner Robertson is a true patriot and will always be remembered as such.

I hope you guys don’t mind if I continue to share things,,,, he was just a remarkable young man,,, he never settled for second place,,, he even shared screen time with dolph lundgren in the film “ operation sea wolf “
Dolph personally selected him

I learned this morning that Conners fellow brothers “ tucked him in” I’ve always heard about marines going above and beyond to have each other’s back,,,,
I was also told that conners gunny stood guard over conner..not only during the visitation, but also throughout the night,,, he didn’t sleep , he didn’t sit down,,,,
That’s honor!!! I can’t even find the right words

Semper Fidelis Osprey Crew Chief. Keeping it together during a flag folding for a fallen comrade, relative, or good friend is too tough. Tears are not a weakness. So sorry for your loss.
